Turbo Engine, Transaxle, and Electrical Diagnosis
These are selected procedures and references. The manual also includes scheduled maintenance tables for the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus separate towing instructions for 2WD and AWD vehicles.
- Engine mechanical: Valve-clearance inspection and adjustment, compression testing, timing-chain service, cylinder-head gasket replacement, and engine removal and installation.
- Turbo and direct injection: Turbocharger and charge-air cooler service, boost-control component checks, and diagnosis of the low-pressure supply and high-pressure direct-injection systems.
- Automatic transaxle: AW6A-EL and AW6AX-EL fault diagnosis, line-pressure, stall, time-lag, and road tests, plus transaxle removal and control valve body service.
- Driveline and chassis: Transfer unit and rear differential service, 2WD and AWD suspension procedures, wheel alignment, hydraulic brake service, and DSC diagnosis.
- Electrical fault tracing: Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) routines, fault-code and live-data tables, connector views, terminal checks, and system wiring diagrams.
- Climate control and restraints: A/C refrigerant service and performance checks, air bag diagnosis, SAS control module configuration, and seat weight sensor calibration.
The manual suits technicians and experienced DIY repairers who need factory test sequences and specifications. Some procedures call for M-MDS or special service tools, including a transaxle pressure gauge and restraint-system deployment equipment.
Fault Codes, Symptoms, and Circuit Tests
Engine diagnosis: The on-board diagnostic and symptom chapters cover no-crank, hard-start, stalling, hesitation, misfire, and loss-of-power complaints. Pending codes, freeze-frame data, live data recording, active commands, simulations, and key-on or engine-running self-tests help narrow down the fault. For an intermittent misfire, for example, freeze-frame data shows the conditions present when the code set, and the specified drive mode helps verify the repair.
Electrical diagnosis: The wiring diagrams, connector views, and terminal-voltage tables help trace faults through the engine, transaxle, electronic AWD, DSC, HVAC, and air bag circuits. Diagnostic sections also cover tire-pressure monitoring, advanced keyless entry, the immobilizer, CAN communication, the instrument cluster, the body control module, audio, and power windows. Mazda’s separate 2007 wiring-diagram publication (P/N 9999-95-068G-07) is sold separately from this workshop manual.
Engine, Driveline, and Chassis Service
Engine and fuel system: Procedures cover lubrication, cooling, ignition, starting, charging, emissions, and boost-control hardware such as the bypass valve, wastegate actuator, and control solenoid. The fuel chapter includes pressure precautions for opening the direct-injection system. Mazda lists a separate L3 WITH TC engine workshop manual for internal engine overhaul.
Transaxle and AWD: The transaxle chapter includes TCM and solenoid checks, neutral-position learning, oil-cooler flushing, and shift-lock adjustment. Driveline procedures cover hubs, joint shafts, the propeller shaft, and the transfer unit. Rear differential service includes disassembly and assembly, with bearing, shim, pinion, and ring-gear work. Mazda lists a separate automatic transaxle and transfer workshop manual.
Brakes, steering, and suspension: The chassis sections cover front and rear alignment, brake bleeding, master cylinder and booster service, caliper repair, parking brake adjustment, wheel-speed sensors, and steering-angle sensor initialization. Steering procedures include steering gear and power steering pump disassembly.
A/C and Restraint Service
Climate control: The HVAC section covers R-134a recovery, evacuation, charging, leak and performance testing, and service of the compressor and clutch, refrigerant lines, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator, heater core, blower, and actuators. Mazda specifies ATMOS GU10 compressor oil and warns that powering the air-mix actuator beyond its prescribed travel can damage its circuit.
Air bags and seat sensors: The restraints chapter includes clock spring adjustment, crash sensor replacement, seat weight sensor calibration, and deployment and disposal procedures. It also specifies battery isolation and reserve-power precautions before restraint connectors or modules are handled. Mazda lists a separate bodyshop manual for collision repair.
Sample Factory Test Values
For the L3 WITH TC engine, standard compression is 1,280 kPa (185.65 psi) at 250 rpm, with a minimum of 896 kPa (129.96 psi) at the same speed. The automatic transaxle technical data specifies 350–410 kPa (51–59 psi) line pressure at idle in D or M and 580–670 kPa (85–97 psi) in R.
